Should be included in Android core! Works well once you figure out that you must lock the permissions before reboot. Kind of a pain to test each app after changing permissions to verify it wont crash. I would really like to see a simulate permission optoin like other apps have. That way when an app is denied permissions it will be fed false or blank data rather than just crashing since the permission is denied. Overall, a great app. Does what it says. Happy with my purchase. PS one permission I would like to see borken out from the general system permissions is the permission for an app to start itself without the user opening it. For example, Pandora I find is also running in the background even though I havent opened it and the permission to start on boot is removed.

Very Nice Application This is such a nice utility to have! Many apps come with obnoxious, invasive, unnecessary permissions, and being able to striaght-up deny them is awesome! Definitely worth the money.

Better than other apps I tried. I often have to repeat the same action many times before it works, fiddling with lock/unlock and reboot over and over. Reboot menu option does nothing. It's sad that this poor show is better than other apps are able to manage.

Doesn't work well Permissions are reset on every update, and it needs a reboot after every change. Rediculous. Author, when you respond to my emails, you might earn a star. Fixing these issues will earn you another.

Works fine App does what it says and does it fine. A few bugs like number of blocked permission not displaying from the top menu however once you click on a particular app you can see whats blocked and whats not. More descriptions needed for some permissions, however the important ones are described fine. Easy to use and the best app I could find for this purpose

Easy to use for those with limited skills and or understanding I managed to shut down many apps that I believe are really unneeded to run in the background. I have begged many developers to stop and they all have refused. This app is a game changer and a battery memory saver. Works great on Motorola photon Q. Thank you developer you saved my phone and my sanity.

Best of What's Out There I've used a few of these apps and I'm satisfied with this one. I particularly like that you can block a permission universally across the whole device all at once. Thx for this :)

Thank You Been looking for something like this. I firmly believe that other than Navigation and Google Maps, no app should have any access to my location. Disabling location access for the whole system works, but it's a hassle as I frequently use Maps. This app does the trick! All I needed to do was restart my phone normally, nothing else. Running CM 10.1 on Nexus 4.

Oddly, dolphin browser - no dev rsvp at all "What's New" should say, "added support for JB, but dropped GB". New (5/28/2013) ver crashes, no matter what. Now fixed? BUT, WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS APP, I HAVE PERMISSIONS PRO, NOT PERMISSIONS DENIED, WTF!? And WTH does "failed to download Vintage Pack" and "Symbols Pack" mean!? U know what I'm talking about, watch it!

Haven't used in a minute but When I did it worked great. Dedicated developer WHO SHOULD GET MORE CREDIT for his work. Great idea for those of us worried about digital privacy. Appreciate their work. Thx

Works as expected This app does exactly what I wanted for Galaxy S3. One of my apps had a new permission in its update that I didn't think it really needed (read system logs) and so I postponed updating that app until I knew I could revoke app permissions. Permissions Denied works flawlessly for this. If I had to complain about something it would be that the app has a rather long startup time. But considering that I will only have to run it every once in a while and for only a couple of apps, it's not a big deal. I would definitely recommend any of Stephen (Stericson)'s apps over most others.

rarely works, buggy and slow, side effects outweigh benefits not worth it. does not remember settings - disabled permissions revert to defaults after some time. careful inspection of the apps - permissions, framework services - is necessary for effective use. overall, it is a hit and miss situation - many apps with removed permissions work with errors or not at all. more frustrating than useful, ripoff at the price I bought it for.

Nice try but Fail Removes the permissions but all the apps I tried removing permissions for failed to open and crashed after doing so. Facebook the one app I bought it for would not load after removing the permissions it did not need access too. The Permissions Denied app itself takes forever to load too(10 minutes). Over all it does not provide the service it was intended to. Waste of 6 bucks. Maybe the author will improve it and have the app to spoof the info to the app has requested permissions to so it can load like a few of the other permissions apps have tried to do. I might try it again in 6 month if it is still around. Really Google should step up and implement this functionality and I imagine eventually they will have to once enough people realize how much info is being stolen by these apps. I removed the facebook app and and will use it in the browser instead.

Great app in an ugly package It does what I need to keep my privacy from the multitude of prying eyes. Well worth the few $. its pretty simple & if you start with no apps installed and work your way up, it's pretty easy to manage getting all permissions in order. Two asks from the dev for future updates -managing individual apps from a permission (in the same way I can currently manage all permissions for an app). -Please make it pretty. This should be on every phone & giving it a nice (holo) UI would make this mainstream worthy.

Great ! To winge bags who complain about the app taking a while to scan apps on startup, it is necessary as it needs to scan app permissions. Impatient people ! I prefer this app over other alternatives as LBE Privacy Guard is bloated and conflicts with Avast, and using ODroid patches your Kernel to blocks ads.

Odd UI and annoying app startup, but works. I've had this app for about half an hour (I wish the trial was longer). I downloaded especially to see if I could run Facebook without the location permissions, however Facebook crashes as soon as you open it - this isn't surprising or the developers fault, but it was the only reason for my purchase. From a UI point of view, the UI is strange, looks very Gingerbread based and the pop up menus aren't great, using a custom look that is outdated. It is functional though. Most annoying point, however, was that the app whenever I opened it reloaded the permissions, which took several minutes each time, and 3 out of 4 times it crashed the launcher and I had to start again. Putting this long winded package check in the background would greatly iprove the first impressions of this app. All that aside, however, it seemed to work. Galaxy Nexus, Paranoid Android 3.0

Nice App. Works as advertised. Update: While scrolling through permissions the app willl sometimes select and change a permission. Would like to see a specific area to tap to toggle permissions instead of the whole permission window causing a change. (Using this on Galaxy S3 with JB. Took a little getting used to but works fine after I learned how to properly use it. If you have problems or concerns give the dev some respect and email him before you trash the app in the reviews.)

Regain control over your privacy This app allows me to regain control over my phone, contacts and privacy in an easy fashion. You don't have to be paranoid to appreciate it! It reveals more about potential privacy leaks than Google Play and apps will continue to work with reduced permissions. Makes you wonder why these permissions were required in the first place...
